this is a Chinese version of Alladin...
In this Chinese version of Alladin, If you open the magic teapot, a magic dragon pops out and grants you three wishes... I guess people would say this is an Aladdin copycat but the style and tone was completely different from the classic Arabian tale. In this story, the genie or in this case, a dragon, was originally a cruel ancient Chinese emperor who was forced to serve as a magic teapot dragon for about 1000 years before he is allowed to enter the afterlife.
The relationship between our main boy, Din, and the wish dragon was goofy and they annoyed each other, which provided more funny jokes.
I guess it hinted a little about the fact that money and wealth can't buy happiness, but did not elaborate very much why that is the case. I wish our dragon had the chance to give a lot of money and wealth to Din, and showed people how money and wealth can't buy happiness, but our main character Din was too dumb or stupid to ask the dragon for things like that. For example, Din asks the dragon to make him wealthy for only 24 hours!!!! I mean, what kind of a stupid wish is that? If you could wish for anything, why would you ask to be rich for only 24 hours?!? Anyway, there were many tropes of a Disney-like animated scenes that I found to be entertaining. - sr-47631 - 30 October 2022
Fabulous
You can say it's a modern version of Alladin.i really loved this movie.they showed the reality of this modern worlds and people.everyone loves you when you have money or something you can give them.when you can't fulfill their needs anymore they don't want you anymore.but truly a little kindness can change the world.there's one more part i related most -din don't have a dad and his mom tries her best fulfill his needs but it's not enough financially.when his mom said, "sorry i can't give you a better life" and he said that "you've given me a lot,mom. Everything that matters." Those lines made me really emotional because my mom also tries very hard for us.i don't have dad.sometimes i misunderstand or argue with mom and hurts her feeling.but those lines made me realize more that she has given her all to us and she gave everything to me that matters.i love u mom.u are the best.(though we never say this) A great movie.everyone go watch this.it should get more recognition. - MK_Movie_Reviews - 21 May 2022
Chinese animated film produced by Jackie Chan
This is an animated film produced by Jackie Chan.
This was a high quality animated film with carefully crafted character building. And this film is full of many gags!
There are many Chinese animated films these days, and this film is one of the highest quality among them.
It taught me that human connections such as friendship, love, and family are more important than visible luxury goods. - dessi_jessi - 11 January 2022
Would have given it a 10 if it wasn't copying Disney's Aladdin
A delightful movie, really enjoyed watching it! The only thing - they could have thought of different ideas from this in Alladin.
But at the end of the day, I love Alladin, and I loved watching this movie too :)
